The National Museum of Science and Technology (Tekniska museet) is Sweden’s national museum devoted to technology, industry and innovation, located in Stockholm. It presents both historical collections and interactive exhibits designed for public engagement and education.

Galleries cover the history of Swedish industry, transport, communications and technological development, and the museum runs hands-on experiment zones for children and learning programmes for schools. Temporary exhibitions explore contemporary themes in technology and design.

The museum functions as a centre for public understanding of science and technology, offering demonstrations, workshops and educational outreach alongside its collections.

Sited in the northern part of central Stockholm near the university districts and accessible by public transport, the museum is within easy reach of the city centre.

• Interactive exhibits: Exhibits are family-oriented and often include live demonstrations and hands-on activities; check for temporary special exhibitions.

What to See#

• Experiment and interactive galleries: Hands-on and interactive exhibition areas aimed at families and children that demonstrate scientific principles and technology.
• Technology and transport galleries: Historical displays covering industrial technology, transport and communications alongside objects from Swedish industrial history.

National Museum of Science and Technology (Tekniska museet) is in northern Djurgården, Stockholm. Take the Stockholm Metro (Tunnelbana) Red Line to the Tekniska högskolan station and then walk about 10-15 minutes east across the bridge into the museum area. Several local buses also serve the Djurgården approaches depending on your starting point.

If driving from central Stockholm, head east via Valhallavägen/Museumvägen toward Norra Djurgården; the museum has limited on-site parking and nearby street parking.

• Aim for weekday mornings or the first hour after reopening to use interactive exhibits with minimal queues-hands‑on galleries can fill up quickly on weekends and holidays.
• Check the museum's program schedule in advance and book any workshops or science demonstrations; these popular sessions often have limited places and sell out early.
• Head to the special‑exhibition halls first-many visitors linger in the main hands‑on areas and miss rotating exhibits that close on short notice.
